Solution
Based on the solubility table provided, the compound that is soluble in water is potassium carbonate. This is because compounds containing Group I cations (which includes potassium) are soluble, and the exception that makes compounds containing carbonate ions insoluble does not apply to Group I cations. Therefore, potassium carbonate is soluble in water.
